Guys, my friend had her last working day last week and she thinks she forgot to fill her timesheet for her last 2 days before handing over the laptop. What can be the consequences of this? She is really worried about this
P.S she belongs to a back end team serving the firm internally charging time on only one code.

Supportive for senior level roles where the firms needs align to a skillset that’s in a different geography.
For more junior folks, they’re unlikely to do much unless there is something else unique about your skillset or role. Even then, the receiving country or practice probably needs to have an open headcount for you. P&Ls are distributed so your cost would need to be accepted by the receiving country and seen as necessary to their part of the business.
A lot of secondments turn permanent if the talent is good
Permanent transfer? Zero chance.
I did it last year, Senior Associate level. It can be tricky and firm dependent but don’t listen to people saying it’s impossible
Thank you...! And were you able to get green card? I heard firms help ypu that?
Especially for the U.S., the visa is going to be the limiting factor (with the current administration, but even before). You will need to check what kind of visa you might qualify for based on your experience level. Generally, the more experienced you are the more likely the company will be willing and able to sponsor you for a visa.
If you were married on the other hand, assuming your spouse goes on a J1, you would be able to to get an employment authorization relatively quickly, which would make it much easier for your company to have you transfer.
In some firms fairly easy incl. visa sponsorship, more or less competitive depending on the office
From Canada / Mexico it's fairly easy with a TN visa. Not sure about options for EU but assume you'll have to do H1-B like the rest of world. With the new rules employers have to pay $100k and there is a lottery system. So basically slim to none unless there is a business case
Assuming you are a EU citizen and require sponsorship to work in the U.S. that often becomes the limiting factor for any firm. Especially under your current administration who is - dare we say - not immigrant friendly 🙄
You’ll be best off if you have a highly technical skill set that is hard to come by. But I’d say worth discussing with global mobility and anyone within a resource management function since you’ll need a project to be staffed on to support the move as well! They can at least help you understand the options and possibilities.
Btw, the sponsorship thing will be a challenge even if you start looking for a new job…
I know someone who went from US to AUS at EY. You have to actually apply and get an offer for a new job as they are legally separate firms. However, a strong internal network of supporters can help to make it happen especially if your supporters happen to know leaders in the US.
